Can't be dollars (would really help if these things were spelled out!).
A power of attorney could be $100US, but a "form" . .. ?
$1200US for FM3 "assistance"? Perhaps if the victim were on the run from Interpol . . .

Rob, you're right!! I think there is an extra "0" on the FM3 assistance stated amount....it's typically $100-$125 equivalent USD here in the La Paz
area. I do my own FM3 renewal, but have several friends who've told me what it's cost them. My mistake on the FM3, but I know the figure to form a
corporation is stated in USD.

Anyone know why Mexico uses the dollar sign for pesos? $$$
Too bad the keyboard doesn't have the dollar sign with TWO lines through it (the correct US Dollar symbol, possibly derived from the letter U over the
letter S)? Then the S with two lines could mean US dollars and an S with one line could mean pesos, or Canadian dollars, etc.

I think you have the derivation reversed. The first use of the symbol was on spanish moneys. The "$" is spanish in origin, and gringos long ago
should have invented their own symbol, like other currencies got have own (e.g. pound, euro, yen, etc.)

The prices were quoted in US$ and Yes, it was quoted $1200 US$ to do the FM3. Something about because we weren't here to do it, it would all have to
be done by the attorney. That's why we went to another place than Notaria 13. And just for the record, every document and quote they prepared for us
had mistakes. Even their quote for expenses had 2 simple addition mistakes. If they can't add a column of 5 numbers, would we trust them to prepare
legal documents?

Shop around.
We found a power of attorney for as little as 30.00 or as high as 200.00 dollars in Guaymas.

Miguel Angel Izquierdo Monte very good, not cheap.
Average cost for a facilitator re: FM-3 $100 U.S.

I assume that Miguel Izquierdo Monte is in La Paz, and that the US$100 is for his services, plus the cost of an FM-3
